Those present today are all very important figures stationed by the central government in Hong Kong. Needless to say, the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government is the general representative in Hong Kong.
China Merchants Group and China Resources Group are both very powerful state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong. Their businesses cover finance, real estate, and foreign trade. They have strong influence both on the mainland and in Hong Kong.
In addition, there are two important figures, one is the commander of the troops stationed in Hong Kong and the other is the commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong. However, due to their special duties, it is not convenient for them to leave Hong Kong today.
The Central People's Government has three major official agencies stationed in Hong Kong, namely, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, the People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong, and the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong. Later, the Office for the Maintenance of National Security in Hong Kong was established, which has become the four major agencies. Of course, these That's something to talk about later.
During the dinner, there was a lot of chatting and drinking, which was very lively.
The people present were all high-status people, and they all respected each other from the bottom of their hearts.
In particular, the two CEOs of China Merchants Group and China Resources were more directly affected by the National Development and Reform Commission, so they frequently toasted to Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing's return gift was also very thoughtful.
After all, these two companies are special and different from the general top state-owned enterprises. Not only do they have a strong economic status, but they also rely on them to play a political role in Hong Kong.
Several media bosses, led by the head of the Publicity Department of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also became close to Li Yanqing.
There are now many cultural exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, and many celebrities in Hong Kong's cultural and art circles rely on them for exchanges. To achieve the integration of Hong Kong and the mainland, cultural integration is essential.
The positions of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China are called directors in a special way. The director is called the director, and the director of the department is called the director. Liang Jiangtao found it quite interesting.
The dinner ended early. Li Yanqing and the director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China took a walk in the villa and went back to their room to rest.
The next day, we officially cleared customs and arrived in Hong Kong.
Unlike mainland leaders who like to ride in Toyota Coaster, Hong Kong likes to ride in nanny business cars.
It has better privacy and is more flexible and convenient.
Several Toyota Alpha cars were lined up, and Liang Jiangtao sat inside, browsing the street scenes on both sides, his heart racing.
In his previous life, he lived for forty years and had always longed for Hong Kong, but it was only because of fate.
I have always wanted to travel here, but firstly, I am busy with work, and secondly, as a grassroots civil servant, where can I have the spare money?
Later, something bad happened, and he felt extremely angry, but he had no strength to use it.
But in Hong Kong, the establishment and kind-hearted ordinary citizens who love the country and Hong Kong will always be the majority.
Liang Jiangtao felt strange when the vehicle was driving on the road.
Such a narrow road carries so many vehicles and pedestrians, but there is no traffic jam.
Toyota Alpha moves freely like clouds and flowing water, and is very efficient.
Overall, it is crowded but not blocked.
If it were in the capital, it would have been blocked long ago.
how did you do that?
Liang Jiangtao observed that there was not a single parked vehicle on the road, and there were no people setting up stalls to occupy the road. The traffic lights were set up very reasonably.
It reflects the superb level of urban management and the quality of citizens.
This is something that mainland city managers can learn from.
Of course, traffic problems are mainly in a few big cities now.
The number of private cars in the Mainland is still very low. In this era, small and medium-sized cities basically don’t know what traffic jams are.
But after this year, the situation will change drastically, and many "first congestion" cities will appear frequently.
Passing by the Golden Bauhinia Square and looking at the flying five-star red flag, Liang Jiangtao felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Bauhinia is the city flower of Hong Kong. Like Lion Rock, it is a symbol and cultural symbol of Hong Kong.
The Oriental Pearl Tower is an inseparable part of the motherland. Even after a hundred years of ups and downs, it is still connected to the motherland.
He was filled with emotion at the high-rise buildings and prosperity in Central, which exuded an extremely modern feel.
Bank of China Tower, Convention and Exhibition Center, International Financial Center, Times Square, International Commerce Center...
Although the infrastructure construction of Beijing and Shanghai has slowly caught up, and urban construction planning has entered the fast lane after Beijing's successful bid for the Olympics, there is still a clear gap compared with established world-class cities like Hong Kong.
The vehicle arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, No. 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
This ancient five-star hotel opened in 1928 and was known as the "Lady of the Far East". It was one of the most advanced and luxurious hotels in Asia at that time.
Over the past seventy years, we have witnessed too many glories and stories.
Different from modern hotels such as Four Seasons Hotel and Marriott Hotel, The Peninsula Hotel’s red brick exterior wall and Peninsula logo have witnessed Hong Kong’s century-old changes.
It not only has historical tradition, but also has modern design, which is very luxurious and comfortable.
This hotel has been selected as one of the top ten famous hotels in the world. Celebrities who have stayed there include former US President Richard Nixon, movie star Keele Kebao, NBA star Michael Jordan, Queen Elizabeth II, etc.
It is worth mentioning that The Peninsula Hotel’s Rolls-Royce fleet is the largest Rolls-Royce fleet in the world.
"Well, this hotel is good and has a strong sense of history." Li Yanqing nodded in praise.
Let’s go to the room to rest for a while, put down our bags, and prepare to meet with the Chief Executive later.
Liang Jiangtao looked at the elegant and majestic room. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were filled with sunlight. The opposite side was Victoria Harbor, which gave people a feeling of relaxation and joy. It was really "soothing to the eyes."
After a short rest, we drove to Government House in Hong Kong.
Government House is located in the mid-levels of Central between Albert Road and Lower Albert Road. It was once the Government House of Hong Kong.
Today it is the official residence of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and the most important official reception venue for the government.
From Government House, you can look up to Victoria Peak, and not far to the north is the Central District Government Offices.
The chief executive is already waiting to greet him.
He was tall, kind-hearted, and had a gentle smile on his face.
As the first chief executive after the return of Hong Kong, this is already his second term.
He fulfilled his mission responsibilities well and made very outstanding contributions.
Other important officials of the SAR government also attended.
The Hong Kong government is structured into three departments and thirteen bureaus.
The Secretary for Administration, the Secretary for Finance, and the Department of Justice are the most important.
Below are the thirteen bureaus, including the Civil Service Bureau, Development Bureau, Security Bureau, etc.
The Chief Secretary for Administration, the Secretary for Justice, the Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology, and the Secretary for Security were all present.
There are also leaders of other important departments, including the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force.
The Commissioner of Police is under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Security and has always played a very important role in the Hong Kong government. He manages 30,000 members of the Hong Kong Police Force and is nicknamed "Brother One".
The Hong Kong Police Force is known as one of the top and most professional police forces in the world and is an important force in maintaining social order in the Pearl of the Orient.
These officials are patriots from the establishment and the most elite force in Hong Kong society.
In addition to officials from Hong Kong, the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, the Commissioner of the Commissioner's Office in Hong Kong, and the commander of the troops stationed in Hong Kong also came.
The Hong Kong Garrison has a military-level structure. The top leader is accompanied by a deputy, so he is a lieutenant general.
The Commissioner of the Commissioner's Office in Hong Kong is a deputy ministerial cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The leaders exchanged greetings at the door and then walked into the conference room.
